Which Appliances Can Be Connected?

  • Cooktops and wall ovens, freestanding or built in
  • Flued and unflued space heaters, with bayonet points where needed
  • BBQ points on decks and outdoor kitchen benches
  • Heaters for a pool or spa
  • Gas water heaters, set out on the hot water page
  • Cooking equipment in cafes and small commercial kitchens

Why Test the Pipe First?

A new appliance puts demand on pipe that may have sat untouched for decades. The pressure test shows whether the line holds. If it drops, the leak is found and the section renewed, because connecting a new cooktop to a leaking line only moves the risk into the kitchen.

Installation, Step by Step

  1. 01

    Ring or send the form

    Call (02) 4063 1232 or use the form to explain the fault. We ask enough to bring the right equipment the first time.

  2. 02

    A fixed price first

    A plumber inspects the job and names a fixed figure up front. Nothing gets started until you give the go-ahead.

  3. 03

    Test, connect, commission

    The line is pressure tested, new pipe goes in where needed, and the appliance is hooked up, lit and adjusted.

  4. 04

    Covered for a year

    Every job carries our 365-day warranty on all work. If something we did isn't right, ring the same number.

What Goes Into the Price?

  • The appliance and its location A heater on an existing point is quicker than an oven moved across the kitchen on new pipe.
  • The test result A condemned steel section adds a renewal.
  • Cavity or open wall Steel buried in double brick takes longer to replace than pipe in open framing.

Old Steel, New Appliances

Early gas, old pipe

This was one of the first Newcastle suburbs connected to gas, and some of the weatherboard and double-brick cottages still carry steel pipe and bayonet points from that time. A new cooktop can be the first test that pipe has faced in years, and a failed result turns a swap into a pipe renewal.

Two kinds of housing

Census figures record 55.9 per cent of dwellings as separate houses, and that older side holds the bayonet points and steel runs. The townhouses and apartments on the Throsby Creek corridor come with compliant pipe in place, so installs there sit closer to a straight connection. Both get the same test and the same paperwork.

When We're Not the Right Call

An oven or cooktop that needs a new power circuit for its ignition or fan needs an electrician for that part. Trouble at the meter is the gas network's to fix, and a smell inside means following the gas leak steps first.

Appliance Questions From Islington Kitchens

What happens if the old gas line fails its test?

The appliance is not connected on a line that fails. The failed section is priced as a renewal alongside the appliance, both figures go to you together, and the work starts once you approve them.

Can a new heater point be added in another room?

Yes. A new bayonet point is run from the nearest suitable section of pipe, tested and signed off. An unused point from an old heater can be capped off at the same visit.

Do you connect outdoor BBQs and pool heaters in Islington?

Yes. Outdoor points need a pipe run out to the deck or pool area, a test and commissioning, and they are priced the same way as indoor work.

Do I get paperwork when the connection is finished?

Yes. The finished work is documented as licensed gas work requires, and that record stays with you along with the commissioning results.
